Before Rome burned, it was probably first besieged by acronyms. Indeed, for all I know, confusion brought on by the arcane language of specialist bureaucrats may have set the initial blaze.

But thanks to the Staffing Industry Analysts lexicon of staffing and contingent management terminology, history need not repeat itself. Our staff has composed definitions, clear and precise, for over two hundred terms of interest.

Do you know what insourcing is? Microsoft doesn't, as the Word program in which I am writing this indicates it to be an error. Do you know the IRS Three Factor Test? Are you sure? How about structured tiers?

Staffing Industry Analysts is the global advisor on contingent work. Known for its independent and objective insights, the company's proprietary research, award-winning content, data, support tools, publications, and executive conferences provide a competitive edge to decision-makers who supply and buy temporary staffing.
